The EU’s Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 expands sustainability requirements for nearly all physical products imported into the EU, mandating compliance for customs clearance. A key component is the Digital Product Passport, which will electronically link product data to customs systems, ensuring only compliant goods enter the market. Customs authorities will play a crucial role in enforcing these regulations, verifying product data against customs declarations to prevent non-compliant imports. Businesses must ensure accurate and up-to-date information in the Digital Product Passport to avoid delays or issues with customs clearance, as the regulation aims to establish sustainable product standards across the EU.
